💜🐾⭐️The Granny Dog Nanny! ⭐️🐾💜

You know that no one loves and cares for you like Grandmas do!! I am an active woman of a certain age who walks 3 miles a day and loves to play with HYPOALLERGENIC dogs (which are the only dogs I can board due to allergies! )that are 25lbs and under, and shower them with lots of cuddles and Granny love!! I have had dogs all my life and have cared for every age and most medical conditions! I will love your pets like they are my very own granddogs!! I also will also follow YOUR instructions to the letter!! Your dogs will enjoy great walks on private wooded trails that are right outside my door, and they can snuggle in bed with me at night!! And you will get tons of photos and videos! Breeds I can accept but are not limited to: Poodles, Bichon, Havernease, King Charles Cavaliers, Schnauzers, Yorkies, Shih Tzus, etc.

Hope, you are a true gem. We are so thankful to have found you on Rover to care for our pup, Tucker. We knew you would be the perfect Grandma to love on him while we were away, just based on the reviews. Hope have him so many walks in her beautiful neighborhood. She provided lots of pics and updates. She was such a great caregiver and will sbdokutely use her again.

Doggy Day Care • Apr 27, 2026

Hope is absolutely wonderful! She kept us informed with updates and photos the entire day, and was super attentive when I had questions. Our dog enjoyed his first day of daycare so much he didn’t want to go home! We can’t wait to use her services again.
